LIQUID EXTRACTOR.

Application filed January 10, 1922. Serial No. 528,232.

able for extracting the cream or top millc oil from milk bottles.

ru .c 4.: ine obyect oi the invention is to devise an article or manufacture which w1ll the more easily remove the cream or top milk irom an ordinary milk bottle with less dis-1 turliance 01" the contents than heretot'ore and at the sau'ie time be more useful and ellicient.

lilfy invention consists of a c .'lindrical casing made preferably of some light metal or other suitable material, a bottom s'uital'ile hinged to the bottom of the easing, a suitable lever handle located at the top of the casing, a rod connecting the bottom to the lever, spring means in the handle for keeping the bottom lid in open position, and a yoke or hand surrounding the casing and designed to adjust the height of the casing in the bottle, all as hereinafter more particularly explained.

Figure l is a sectional view of my device constructed according to my invention.

Figure 2 is a plan view, showmg the. spout.

l igure a broken section of the side elevation through the line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Figure is i perspective view of the friction band for holding the casing to any desired height.

Fig. 5 is a sectional view similar to Fig. 1, showing a modification of the invention;

Fig. 6 is a. plan view oil the modifica ion shown in Fig.

1 is an ordinary milk low casing. 23 a lid suitably hinged at the bottom tor movement downward. l is a rod suitably connected to the lid 3 and to the lover 5 at the top. 6 is the top cover for the support oi the stationary handle .15. T is the spout which may be used ior'pouriug if desired. 8 is a rivet or loose connecti'ng means of the rod to the bottom lid 3. 9 is the hinge for the bottom lid 3. 10 is bottle. 2' is a holthe connection of the rod to thelever. 11

is the frictional band for holding tne casing at the desired height. 12 is the fulcrum. 13 is the spring means for holding the gripping portion of the lever handle apart. 14: is a bolt or rivet for holding the spring in place. 15 is the stationary handle or gripping portion.

Now as the device is inserted in the bottle with the bottom open, it cuts its way through the liquid without disturbing the top milk and by pressure on the toplever through a slight gripping pressure of the hand, the bottom lid is closed and the topmilk retained in the casing and can be lifted out of the bottle and either poured out of the casing by the spout or theoottom lid can be opened slightly to allow same to run out in the desired quantityJThe frictional .band. it will be seen, can be: used to regulate theextent of the insertion of the casing into the bottle according to the depth tive manner of accomplishing the Work may I be done by the device constructed according to Figures 5 and 6 and it is not desired to limit myself to the construction as shown in the first four figures but it may be made according to the construction as shown in Figures 5 and 6.

What I claim as my invention is:

A cream remover for insertion in a milk bottle comprising a receiver closed at its upper end and open at the lower end, a

closure hinged to the said lower end of the receiver, a rod connected to the closure at a point adjacent to the hinge and passing rod to hold the closure in an open position.

In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature.
